Welcome to App with Welcome Weekend Orientation! Welcome to App begins with Welcome Weekend. Welcome Weekend takes place the weekend before classes start. Our goal during this weekend is for you to become more comfortable at Appalachian, to make new friends, to have fun, and to start weaving yourself into the fabric of student life at Appalachian. Welcome Weekend activities are for both firstyear and transfer students and serve as an extension of your summer orientation. Important events happening during Welcome Weekend include: The Black & Gold Convocation, Club Expo and the Student/Faculty Exchange just to name a few. Take advantage of Welcome Weekend and Welcome to APP events throughout your first semester and you’ll be off to a great start at Appalachian!

Appol Corps Appol Corps (APPalachian Orientation Leader Corps) is a group of more than 200 App State student volunteers who serve the university as orientation leaders during Welcome Weekend. Appol Corps leaders guide new students through the various activities that are offered during Welcome Weekend.
